Bridezilla


I'm getting married in just 41 days!!! Currently I am 3 parts excited, 1 part terrified, and about 4 parts freaking out.


I've never really appreciated the term "living in fast forward" until recently. It seems like only 2 days ago that I was in Boracay with Charles asking me to marry him. But suddenly I'm only 41 days away from the wedding...and there's a lot to do. Praise God we have signed the lease on an apartment! So, at least we won't be sleeping on the street :)


Fortunately, as I start to hyperventilate I usually remember that the most important thing is not that the event itself is beautiful but that the marriage following it be all that God wants for us. I'm also blessed with a fiance who doesn't mind helping out a lot. If he left me on my own it would probably all fly apart. I'm definitely not the bride who's had a plan in mind since she was seven...as I type the colors of the wedding are still only tentatively settled as an amorphous blue and green (dark blue, light green, aquamarine, navy, sage, indigo...who knows what it'll end up!).
So, far I think we're both holding up pretty well under the pressure...mostly because Charles is so patient with me. It's been fun, but it will be nice to have the wedding planning all finished and know that everything is ready.

Well, as time ticks down please remember to pray for me. And please also pray that our wedding day would point to the Author of all romance and the Writer of the greatest love story.
